Chapter 417 Tachyon Technology

"Do tachyons really exist? Are there really tachyon communicators and detectors?!" This discovery was like a blockbuster dropped into the pond.

People can't help but be excited. If humans really discover tachyons, it will be a theoretical... huge change!

Huge in the true sense of the word!

The simplest point is that using tachyons... we can achieve super-light detection methods and communication methods. Moreover, the speed formula of tachyons is very strange. The lower the energy, the higher the speed. The higher the energy, the lower the speed. Theoretically, the speed of light is the lower limit and the upper limit is... infinity!

Yes, the speed of light is just the lower limit. The speed of any low-energy tachyon far exceeds the speed of light!

So, what does infinite detection speed mean?

Many military personnel squinted, looked at the ceiling, and had a lot of fantasies.

Everyone who has experienced a real star war knows clearly: information is everything in space wars.

Super-light detection means that information in a war can be known in advance, which means that before others find you, you have already started to attack the opponent!

It can even detect laser and curvature missile attacks and intercept them.

Now, the best opportunity is placed in front of people...

One, tachyon communicator!

Does it contain...

What about a certain technology that people want?

"Quiet, quiet!" In just a moment, military experts had already thought of the abnormality of this technology, and they started to surge like a tide. Even Xu Yunjin and others were panting like an ox, their eyes were as wide as an ox's, and their whole bodies were trembling slightly.

Yu Yifeng had to stand up and slapped the table hard.

"Everyone be quiet!"

But such yelling is of no use at all...

Different from what military experts think of, what scientists immediately think about is not the military, but to satisfy their curiosity.

This kind of curiosity is much richer than nanotechnology. It is a real desire to explore the unknown.

Nanotechnology is mainly focused on the "technical" aspect. In fact, we are constantly searching for nanodynamic templates, and the process is difficult and complicated.

Moreover, the nanodynamics template draws heavily on biotechnology, which is also the main reason why interstellar civilizations sail around and collect different biological specimens...

But the field of tachyons is blank and a completely new kind of "science". People's knowledge of it only accounts for 0.01 out of 100. At most, they can only make some basic guesses based on some formulas.

"Science" and "technology" are closely related, but there are major differences. Science mainly deals with unknown fields, and major breakthroughs are unpredictable; technology works in relatively mature fields and can make more accurate plans.

If tachyons are really discovered, it will be the same as "calculus" appearing in the world for the first time.

Because what it represents is the existence of another world: that is... the fast universe!

Theoretically, in the fast universe, all tachyons move at super-light speed, and the speed of light is the lower limit of this universe. Correspondingly, our own material universe is called the slow universe, and the speed of light is its upper limit.

If the fast universe can really be discovered, it would be groundbreaking!

Many theorists were so excited that they even derived equations and built models in the middle of the meeting.

Yu Yifeng could only smile helplessly when he saw Dr. Lanbo with an excited face and Xu Yunjin and other military personnel who were blushing. Anyway, this kind of meeting is not a particularly formal meeting, so let's just let everyone have fun for a while.

In fact, people have always believed that tachyons, like dark matter, exist in this universe, but people have not discovered it.

But with human thinking, it is really difficult to imagine what a fast universe looks like in which matter moves at infinite speed and the lowest speed is the speed of light...

"This is definitely something more difficult than nanotechnology... Alas, such a world is difficult to imagine intuitively and can only be understood through mathematics." Yu Yifeng heard a physicist complaining in annoyance. He felt that his IQ had already Not enough.

Think about it, the mass of all matter is an imaginary number, and it all travels faster than the speed of light. In such a world, we don’t know whether there are electrons or atoms... and we don’t know how macroscopic matter is composed.

If every point on the body moves at faster than light speed, I don’t know if life can be formed.

But the existence of the "fast universe" is an important supplement to the current view of the universe.

The scientists' thinking is very strange. They discovered a "red apple", a "blue apple", and after a lot of hard work, they discovered a "red pear".

Very good, so they thought, why are there "blue apples" but no "blue pears"?

Definitely a "blue pear" to keep things symmetrical!

Otherwise the world would be too disharmonious.

This kind of scientific thinking is called "symmetry". People have always believed that nature is "symmetrical" and can use "symmetrical" ideas to understand nature. 【1】

However, with the help of human power, for hundreds of years, no method has been used to discover the existence of tachyons...

The substance "tachyon" seems to exist only in conjecture.

Now, a possible result is before people's eyes, how can they not go crazy? !

This is already related to the perfection of the universe theory!

Difficult to understand does not mean incomprehensible. Many people stared at the purple metal box on the screen... their eyes even began to change color.

"Quiet, quiet!"

Yu Yifeng spoke again to maintain order. At the same time, more calm people also stood up and put forward various safety factors.

The study of tachyons... certainly has extremely huge benefits.

But then again, people dare not gamble!

Yu Yifeng really didn't dare to take the risk, press that button, or even disassemble it for research.

If the tachyon detector sends out a signal, humans can neither capture nor intercept it.

If this kind of civilization is staring at it, even if the spacecraft is superluminal, humans can't escape. Because tachyons may be able to easily detect superluminal spacecraft.

This risk is really too big.

"But we can't give up because of fear!" A scientist stood up and said excitedly: "No one knows whether this sower civilization exists... How can we give up such a good opportunity!"

Yu Yifeng shook his head: "For safety reasons, we must use the worst mind to speculate on the intentions of this sower civilization. We must also consider the worst case scenario. Everyone calm down first."

"Everyone here is smart. You should think from this aspect and don't forget our current situation! Who can guarantee that when studying this communicator, the mechanism in it will not be triggered?!"

After hearing a lot of rebuttals, the group of scientists quieted down a little.

When they thought of various safety issues, they could only sit down dejectedly.

However, there are still many people who try to find evidence that the purple box is safe.

Soon, someone stood up and said, "But, based on these alone, it seems that we can't infer anything special, right? If we press this button, can the other party find us and destroy us?"

"What's the point of this kind of induction? Not at all! There is no benefit in running all the way to destroy us!"

"Think about it, isn't it?"

Note [1]: The violation of parity conservation actually destroys this symmetry. As a result, the two scientists won the Nobel Prize for breaking the stereotype.
